property name constructed from string and the value of another property

Dear List,

i had hoped it would be possible to write something like:

${foo${anotherProperty}}

to obtain the value of the property foobar in case the value of
anotherProperty is 'bar'.

but this syntax is not allowed. are there ways to construct the name of
a property from the value of another property?

cheers,
dirk
